As a new mother, I was bound and determined to only give my daughter the best. I was going to feed her organic foods where ever possible (no matter the cost) and she was not even going to know what Juice was.

Whenever I took her anywhere they would offer her juice and then look at me like I was from another planet when I told them she did not drink juice.

Everyone kept telling me that all kids her age drink juice but I felt that it had too much sugar in it and most of the "juice" on the market is not even 100% juice. I thought about watering it down but from my research that also dilutes the nutritional value and it is still full of high fructose corn syrup and other chemicals.

Did you know that beverages labeled 100% Fruit Juice contain 90% of the sugar and calories of sugar-sweetened carbonated soft-drinks? Think about what a soda does to you, now imaging concentrating that into a child 1/5th your size!

Did you know that a 12oz can of soda has 39 grams of sugar and a 11.5oz can of 100% apple juice has 36 grams of sugar? seem a little excessive to you? It does to me.

In an effort to conform to society's norm of "all kids drink juice" I sought out a better alternative. That is how I found First juice! Not only is it organic (which is very important to us) but it has about 50% of the sugar as regular juice. First Juice also contains 60% of the daily value for vitamin C, 25% for vitamin A and 10% of calcium and vitamin D. It contains NO added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup. It is also USDA certified organic and kosher.

First juice is an organic fruit and veggie juice blended with purified water (43%-49% juice). By selecting and blending fruits and vegetables with lower natural sugars, First Juice has created the lowest per-ounce sugar content on the market.

Why purple carrots? Did you know that the first carrots were not orange? They were purple, white, red and yellow. Purple carrots are higher in antioxidants and are colorful and fun for kids.
